This amazing exhibition wis entirely worth the visit - full of gorgeous medieval manuscripts, of the kind that make you stop and stare when you realise the incredibly precise handwriting and brand-new-looking gold foil was put there over 600 years ago. And, on top of that, there was the first page of Wind in the Willows and artefacts from Tolkien, as well as pictures of Harry Potter! I was immersed in my favourite world of books, and stayed in there all day.
This was followed by lunch in a tiny, lovely pub which has pictures of the famous Oxonians C. S. Lewis and Tolkien on the walls, ages spent delving in the children's section of my favourite bookshop, and watching Narnia when we got home. Heaven.
And, it turns out, my favourite feels-like-being-a-girl-again, Addams family, Wicked Witch and Narnia inspired outfit was perfect for the day. I now have a Tolkien and C. S. Lewis obsession which has left me dreaming all week...
